Deep dives

China's Push for Global Dominance

China's Belt and Road Initiative aims to replace the US as the world hegemon by investing in Chinese infrastructure in numerous countries. By offering a checkbook for infrastructure projects, China solidifies its control over these countries while providing modern ports, trains, power plants, telecom networks, and apartment complexes. Chinese companies are handed control over the infrastructure, including major ports in Greece, Italy, Spain, and Belgium. This push for dominance comes as China hardens itself against the US, selling US strategies, and preparing for a potential conflict.
